Center for Food Safety and Security Systems (CFS3) Microbial Food Safety Literature Databases

The Director of Center for Food Safety and Security Systems (CFS3), Dr. Robert Buchanan, has been collecting and indexing relevant articles in the area of microbial food safety for the last 25 years. He is making his personal efforts available to the public through FoodRisk.org.

The databases are available in Microsoft Access and are organized in 12 files according to the main subject matter. Once downloaded, the databases can be searched, queried, and used to develop reports using the various capability available within Microsoft Access.

The databases are not intended to be a definitive listing of publications in the area, but rather a selection of relevant articles. It should not be considered the sole source of information for a comprehensive literature review. The databases are updated approximately quarterly so you might not find the most current publications. For updates of the CFS3 databases, please check this section of FoodRisk.org periodically to download newer versions. Current information on this topic can also be found at FoodRisk.org database.
